tive Inhibitors: 1,5-Diarylimidazoles. — A wide variety of 1,5-diarylimidazoles such as (IV)-(VI) are prepared, involving as key reaction the cyclization of an imine with an isocyanide. In the cases where no electron-withdrawing group is present in the imine, the more reactive benzotriazolylmethyl isocyanide is more suitable than the tosylme-thyl isocyanide. The latter compound works well in the presence of the methylsulfonyl or sulfonamide moiety. The new compounds are evaluated both in vitro and in vivo for their cyclooxygenase-2 inhibiting activity, leading to compound (IV) as best candidate for clinical trials. — (ALMANSA*, C.; et al.; J.
